What amazes me beyond anything else is that there is anyone at all, aside from upper management, that even attempts to defend the killing of telecommuting. Anyone who isn't an exec at a large company does not have any real data on whether it's better or not. They may have anecdotes, they may even have a few anecdotes, but that's it. And, frankly, for execs there's an inherent conflict of interest. Just take Marissa Mayer :

This woman is ... I am sorry to use this word, she's disgusting. I have zero respect for someone who asks people to come into the office every morning, and says this makes things better, see she does it herself ... building a nursery into the fucking office, and for all I know she takes a helicopter to avoid the traffic.
This is about as honorable as an army company standing outside an indian encampment, armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, saying how they've "fairly negotiated a transfer of land".
These people are the reason we live in bland, empty inner cities with zero space for anyone and tiny apartments except for the super-rich. Telecommuting could solve that problem, and we should be fighting for it. To be exact, we should be fighting people like Marissa Mayer and other execs to get it.
Why the fuck don't we do that ?
